This is my second daughter's first one. My oldest has two sons..... The Matt and Judy and Patrick and Robert and Karl Show When you say "speech," we think "freedom," so excuse us if we blow past recapping last night's pep rally to cogitate a bit more on the last act of the Matt and Judy Show. William Safire thinks Robert Novak should "finally write" the column that would explain how it is that he's sunning himself down on Pennsylvania Ave. while Cooper and Miller are learning how to make shivs. That's a nice thought, but that would require Novak to honest. And what's that saying about a leopard changing its spots? A turd cannot grow a spine, either. (Not that the distinguished Mr. Novak is a turd. Just observing. He is also not a leopard and also we sort of doubt that's human.) But revelations are likely. Facing jail, Matt and Judy might talk, or -- worse for He Who Must Not Be Named (Karl Rove) -- they'll go to jail with lips still sealed but outrage on the part of friends and colleagues will shake lose the which White House source outed Plame to smear Wilson. Or maybe prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will fall out of love with his rectitude on the subject and issue the long-ago completed report on the matter. All of those things are bad for HWMNBN (Rove). Maybe he didn't do anything criminal -- we sort of doubt he did -- but it will tarnish an already dimming image of this administration to have his dirty smear job finally out in the open, what with this being the presidency of George “uphold the honor and decency of the office” Bush. Of course maybe Rove wasn't involved, WMDs will be found, Saddam was involved in 9/11 and unicorns will appear in the back yard if you wish real real hard. Wonkette

Is Karl Rove, George Bush’s Mama Rose? huffingtonpost.com Mama Rose was the monster of a stage mother to the stripper Gypsy Rose Lee so brilliantly captured in the musical “Gypsy.” A recent Vanity Fair article profiling Rove mentions the suicide of his mother. Mama Rose was also abandoned by her mother. She attempted to fill that terrible void by taking the career of her untalented daughter and forcing her to succeed through any means possible. When Rove met George W. Bush he was floundering – a lost son of a U.S. President in search of some meaning in his life. What better way for Rove to fulfill his own ambitions by channeling them through someone more handsome, more connected and oh, so pliable. A determined survivor with a drive fueled by pain meets his fate. Without Mama Rose’s ambition and drive there would be no Gypsy Rose Lee. The less talented of two sisters Louise (the future Gypsy) is thrown into the spotlight by her mother to do a strip. And in that spotlight Louise finds a power she never knew -- shedding her skin as the underachieving sister. By taking off her clothes in a room full of men Louise is instantly taken seriously. Mama Rose shows a total lack of morality in allowing Louise to strip as she knows that the men in the audience will enjoy her daughter because she is practically a child. However, her belief is that she is not sacrificing her daughter completely because Louise is not really going to take off all her clothes. It’s all an illusion. Could Karl Rove be trying to complete himself by becoming the mother he always wanted? And could George Bush be the child that Karl Rove always dreamed of being but never got to be because he was forced to deal with such an overwhelming loss? Or could Rove have found the ideal surrogate to fulfill his own ambition? Some people are born under a lucky star and their lives are tragedy-free. But Karl Rove is not one of them. And to be in that rare position of global power and not examine your own life and how it connects to the choices you make is very dangerous to the rest of the world. Not to mention selfish and narcissistic. Just like Mama Rose.
